\"\"<\/a>For me it is photography but it could be painting, poetry, dance, music or any art form that helps us see the images within the images.\u00c2\u00a0 This past week I was looking for them in the morning hours at a couple different locations.\u00c2\u00a0 Viewing through the lens helps me focus on details and compositions I might otherwise miss. (Got tripod?\u00c2\u00a0 Use it!)<\/p>\n

In a vineyard in Napa, although by noon it was over 90 degrees and sunny, the morning dew was still in shadowed areas.\u00c2\u00a0 One in particular that caught my eye was the dew on the spider webs that were blanketing some yellow grapes like new borns wrapped in their first swaddling cloths.<\/p>\n

There was something about these old and un-harvested vines that touched my soul.\u00c2\u00a0 So I began to sing the Grandmother Invocation by Gwen Jones:\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Grand mother I see you sitting in the east, you are sacred and you are looking at me.\u00c2\u00a0 I pray to you, pray to you. You are sacred and you are looking at me\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 south, west, north, sky earth, heart\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

And today I am thankful for the work and voice of justice of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yellow Bird Woman\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Elouise Cobell<\/a> who after a 14 year law suit against the US Government won a 3.4 billion dollar settlement for the misuse and theft of monies belonging to Native Americans.\u00c2\u00a0 Elouise Cobell, a woman of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153compassion and grit,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d died this past week at age 65.\u00c2\u00a0 The legacy she hoped to leave behind was a world better for our children.\u00c2\u00a0 May it be so!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>My second image was in first light at the newest pier near the Ferry Building.. The design of the railings is compressed with the use of a telephoto zoom lens set at 400 mm.<\/p>\n

Graphic images, shadows and golden morning light can be intriguing. In one direction you have the city skyline and the other end of the pier you are looking to the Bay Bridge and Treasure Island.\u00c2\u00a0 But extractions can be just as powerful as the grand scene.\u00c2\u00a0 It is fun to be out and about at first light.<\/p>\n

“Morning\u00c2\u00a0 has broken…like the first morning”<\/p>\n

….wonder what that would be like?<\/p>\n
